    A good game if you are either a fan of the Fate/Stay Night universe or if you just like JRPGs in general. All of the standard JRPG staples are here: stories told through dialogue, school setting, slightly customizable characters, and branching storylines.

Don't expect too much though: compared to more famous JRPGs such as the Persona series, Fate/Extra feels like a watered-down simplified version of Persona. It's nonetheless worth the time to play through at least once. Expand

    If it didn't suffocate you with screens of sub-par writing [a clumsy nod to Fate's visual novel roots] it could almost look the Persona series in the eye. Almost. [July 2012, p.117]

    The plot is compelling, the visual style is gorgeous, but the combat can't hold up its end of the bargain and sustain excitement. [Issue#219, p.80]

    Fate/Extra is an intriguing game that features a brilliant story, solid characters and good art, but when it comes to the RPG aspects it's all a little uninspiring, and at times tedious and boring, with too much repetition in gameplay and design. If you like to play RPGs for the story and aren't worried about a basic battle system based around luck, then by all means check Fate/Extra out, you'll certainly get a well worth kick from its story, just don't expect to be blown away by its gameplay.
